2 thoughts on “Humanism Is My Religion”

Nature is my religion, also 🙂 The Pope did say something very wise recently (as an Ex-Catholic I never expected anything like this coming from a pope’s mouth): that people do not need to be part of religion (or even believe in God) to be good people. And that there are plenty of people inside the church who could not be considered good people. Our actions, the way we treat ourselves, others and our environment, are the true measuring stick of our character. Anything else is just labels, or for show…

Precisely. Church going is, for most people, a perfect camouflage. Also, I read somewhere that another name for religion is “Not wanting to know truth.” So I came to the conclusion a long time ago that although most religions are not to be trusted, and that without them there will still be good people and bad people, religions are valuable tools in the organization of society, at least, at the low levels. My unbelief notwithstanding, to those who seek wisdom, I commend the Bible as a source of valuable literature and as a starting point in so far as it promotes humanitarianism. The Bible can also get poetic sometimes.
